She also addresses concerns related to trauma, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy-related issues.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. Sessions center on listening, reflecting back what matters, and helping people set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical strategies to try between sessions. These methods are often used to address stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. That may mean trying CBT techniques for a few sessions, then adding client-centered or psychodynamic ideas if different questions come up. The plan adapts to what the client wants to accomplish and how they prefer to work.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It may help with scheduling around work or family time and reduce travel. Confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. The therapist will discuss how to structure appointments so they match practical needs and goals.
